Chapter 220: Chapter 68 I can give you full marks for this act_3Although the opponent was just in ordinary clothing, his defensive power was astonishing, almost equivalent to the effect of iron armor; his Inner Strength clearly had a damage reduction effect. After executing a whole set, Xiao Jie had managed to deal only less than half damage! He was starting to feel a bit anxious. Fortunately, he had fully stacked ten layers of Gale Force; otherwise, he feared he wouldn’t have been able to make a dent. Continue— Gale Seven Forms! Swish swish swish! Instantly, another set of Saber Skill was executed, dealing another 283 damage. At this moment, the opponent still had over 100 Life Value left, and at the same time, the time-stop effect was about to end. All-in! Just in the instant when the domain disappeared, Xiao Jie clicked his keyboard and mouse furiously, switching his Saber Skill—Silent Annihilation Blade—One Cut, Two Pieces—Sky Splitting Flash! The hand speed of a professional player with over a decade of experience was perfectly displayed in this moment, delivering a lethal blow instantly. With one strike, the blade cleaved right across Xiong Ba’s face, with the effect of Silent Annihilation Blade attached, maximizing the damage of One Cut, Two Pieces. -108! Not too late, Xiao Jie also successively dealt an additional hit of True Damage from Sky Splitting Flash; he had previously discovered that Sky Splitting Flash and One Cut, Two Pieces calculated damage separately. As long as he maintained the proper distance, letting the blade cleave through the target’s front half and releasing the Sword Energy the moment it passed through the target’s back half, he could deal two-stage damage. This kind of maneuver was very hard to accomplish in intense battles because the distance between the target and oneself had to be just right. However, it wasn’t difficult to manage in a stationary state, the only regret being that the second stage of damage didn’t benefit from the True Damage effect of Silent Annihilation Blade, dealing only 49 damage. -49! This combination finally emptied Xiong Ba’s last bar of Life Value. Swish! People outside the domain only saw Xiao Jie suddenly appear out of nowhere, chopping down with one strike, a white blade energy passing through Xiong Ba from head to toe, and all damage calculations completed in an instant. -716 (36 points of overkill damage)! The Inner Power Wave that Xiong Ba hadn’t yet released instantly dissipated; his whole body froze, motionless. Then, they saw his substantial 680 Life Value instantaneously drop to zero. Xiao Jie turned around, with his back towards Xiong Ba, performed a blade-sheathing motion, and calmly said, "You’re already dead." Xiong Ba’s body remained frozen in place, seemingly unscathed, but soon a line of blood surfaced on his forehead, slowly descending. However, the effects of the 28 previous strikes were faster, first his hand severed, then his arm, followed by his shoulder—his body fragmenting, falling piece by piece onto the ground, and finally splitting right down the middle, thoroughly turning into a heap of broken remains. [System prompt: Congratulations to player ’Hidden Moon Following Wind,’ you have killed player ’Xiong Ba’ in a Life and Death Duel. Your reputation in Xiaofeng City has increased by 290 points,—you have obtained a piece of spoils.] The scene was silent. "This... this is impossible! This can’t be..." Xiong Ba, looking at the death notification on his screen, muttered weakly. The moment his screen froze, he had a bad feeling, and when the image finally restored, it immediately showed a red death character. He was so angry he nearly spewed a mouthful of blood; this death was too suffocating! He blinked, his head spinning, and felt as if he had been having a nightmare. Yes, he must be dreaming, this couldn’t possibly be real! He forcefully opened his eyes, but everything remained unchanged. Just the large death character on the screen, and below it, a line of small text—system prompt: you are dead. Ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha! Xiong Ba, seeming to have gone mad, burst out laughing, his powerful Inner Strength causing the entire house to tremble along. With a palm strike, he smashed his computer, hysterically venting his despair and rage... However, at this moment in the game, no one was concerned with Xiong Ba’s feelings. At this time, everyone had only one thought—what exactly happened just now? Although Xiao Jie had struck twenty-nine times, to the onlooking crowd, it seemed as though Xiao Jie had used some Skill to fix Xiong Ba in midair for a full five seconds, then suddenly appeared and struck a 700+ damage blow, instantly killing Xiong Ba. 700+ damage, what a concept! No one in the crowd could discern what Skill it was. Xiao Jie said no more words and directly walked towards the edge of the circle; the light circle had already dissipated, and as he walked, the crowd parted to make way, wary of provoking the formidable figure before them. Xiao Jie directly approached the members of the World Association; although there was only one of him and more than ten of them, they all retreated in unison, each with hearts trembling in fear. Xiao Jie’s gaze swept over each of them, and he lightly said, "From now on, the World Association is not allowed to step into Luoyang Town again. I also don’t want to see any of you ever again—understand?" "Understood, we’re going back to dissolve the guild right now." "Big brother, you’re awesome; I’m totally bowing down to you." "Don’t worry, Feng, I’m going to sell all my stuff and quit the game." The members of the World Association were quick to state their opinions. Their leader had been smashed to pieces, what else was there to think about? Xiao Jie said indifferently, "That’s settled then—you all can leave." The group of more than ten hurriedly scurried away, not daring to linger another moment. Xiao Jie also turned and floated away. Only after Xiao Jie’s figure vanished at the street corner did exclamations and curses burst forth. "Damn, I’m not seeing things, am I?" "He must be cheating; what’s this?" "What’s happening? I don’t get it." "You guys just don’t understand. This guy—no, the hero Hidden Moon Following Wind has mastered his Saber Skill to a transcendent level. In that instant, he unleashed 6,372 cuts, but you all couldn’t see clearly because your Agility is too low; it seemed like only one cut." Unlike ordinary players who enjoyed wildly speculating, the true experts all wore expressions of astonishment. They had a deeper understanding of the game, and their thoughts were closer to the truth. (Supreme Divine Skill! It must be the Supreme Divine Skill!) (This guy is terrifying—we must recruit him!) (He’s too strong; even I’m not sure I could withstand that cut...) Real experts like Long Xingtianxia did not make any statements but were pondering in their hearts. —————— Xiao Jie kept walking until there were no more players around; only then did he suddenly accelerate, rushing into a deserted courtyard to swiftly recover his Inner Strength. He had a total of 300 Inner Power Value, a Big Move used up 200, Phantom Traceless 20, One Cut, Two Pieces another 30, Gale Force another thirtyish—now he was down to just about ten or so points of Inner Strength. With that, practically anyone could take him down. Facing more than ten members from the World Association alone, he had solely relied on his aura to intimidate them into leaving. If someone had lost their cool and lunged at him, he’d have had no defense; his only option would have been waiting for the city guards’ protection... Actually, he could have just taken a potion right away. But to maintain the image of a master, he endured until he was away from people before taking it. As his Inner Power Value replenished, Xiao Jie finally sighed in relief. His 300 points of Inner Strength were usually enough for using his movement techniques and unleashing saber skills, but now that he’d acquired a secret technique, it was totally insufficient. Just one secret technique consumed a couple hundred points. It seemed he would definitely have to learn another Inner Strength skill soon; otherwise, if he encountered slightly more enemies later, he’d be out of moves after a burst of energy consumption. At this moment, he became curious about what the reaction was back at the square. Hidden Moon Following Wind: Xia bro, what’s the situation on the square like? Xia Yi the Unrivaled: It’s exploded, totally exploded, haha, Feng my man, you were absolutely epic, your act there was flawless—I’d give you full marks. You’re almost as cool as me now! Hidden Moon Following Wind: I’m planning to immediately leave Xiaofeng City to find a place to level up; just letting you know. Xia Yi the Unrivaled: Good idea. The taller the tree, the stronger the wind. I think it’s better for you to keep a low profile for a short while. We’ll see about the rest later. But with Xiong Ba dead, I doubt anyone would dare bother you now. Hidden Moon Following Wind: Right, I hope so. I’m not really one for fighting, and being able to level up peacefully by myself wouldn’t be too bad. Anyway, I’ve got to go. After turning off the private message, Xiao Jie prepared to take off, doing his deed and leaving without a trace, concealing his skills and fame. For now, it was best to remain low-key and let things unfold on their own. His urgent priority was to level up and train as quickly as possible. Even though he possessed Supreme Martial Arts that could compete with Level 30 experts, Xiao Jie was well aware of his current weaknesses—insufficient Inner Strength, few attributes, low level, and barely satisfactory equipment. He needed to improve as quickly as possible. Of course, more importantly, there was the legacy of the Ancient Qi Refiner waiting for him to explore. At this moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky. "Hahaha, little bro, your last two fights were brilliant; you’ve got a bit of my true legacy!" It was Yuan Bai descending from the sky. Xiao Jie immediately breathed easier, with this elder brother around, he felt utterly safe.
